The father of former premier and
centrist Italia Viva (IV) party leader Matteo Renzi, Tiziano,
was sent to trial Monday for influence peddling linked to the
public procurement company CONSIP.
Renzi Sr, who will go on trial November 16, has been cleared of
bid rigging in the case, a preliminary hearings judge (GUP)
said.
He was indicted along with former rightwing MP Italo Bocchino
and businessmen Alfredo Romeo and Carlo Russo.
The GUP handed down a suspended one-year sentence on former
Berlusconi ally Denis Verdini, businessman Lorenzo Abrignani and
ex-MP Ezio Bigotti.
The GUP cleared former CONSIP managing director Domenico
Casalino, and Grandi Stazioni rail group CEO Silvio Gizzi.
Tiziano Reniz's indictment is the latest in a string of legal
woes for the father of the former centre-left Democratic Party
(PD) leader.
